The "**Canada Per Capita Income**" dataset presents a comprehensive record of the average income per person in Canada over multiple years. The dataset's primary aim is to provide insights into the economic well-being and financial growth of the Canadian population. It serves as a valuable resource for economists, researchers, policymakers, and analysts to study trends in income distribution, gauge the impact of economic policies, and identify disparities in wealth.

The dataset's information is sourced from reliable and authoritative channels, such as the Canadian government's official statistical agencies, including Statistics Canada. These agencies routinely collect and publish data on various economic indicators, including per capita income, through surveys, censuses, and economic reports.

The inspiration behind compiling this dataset lies in the significance of per capita income as a critical metric to measure the standard of living and economic development of a nation. By providing historical data, the dataset enables users to track Canada's economic progress, identify patterns of growth or decline, and explore factors contributing to changes in individual income levels. Understanding this data is pivotal in formulating evidence-based policies that promote equitable economic opportunities and overall prosperity for all Canadians.

Income data has been used extensively by researchers to better understand the economic well-being of Canadians. To meet the needs of these users, Statistics Canada has produced numerous cross-sectional public use microdata files (PUMFs). PUMFs for the Survey of Consumer Finance (SCF) were released until reference year 1997. With the end of the SCF, PUMFs for the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) were produced for reference years 1996 to 2011. The Canadian Income Survey (CIS) was introduced for the 2012 reference year. The CIS is a cross-sectional survey developed to provide information on the income and income sources of Canadians, with their individual and household characteristics. It is a short questionnaire which is asked of a sub-sample of respondents to the Labour Force Survey (LFS), gathering information on labour market activity, school attendance, support payments, child care expenses, inter-household transfers, personal income, food security and characteristics and costs of housing. The CIS content is supplemented with information from the LFS on individual and household characteristics (e.g. age, educational attainment, main job characteristics, and family type) and with tax data for income and income sources (Statistics Canada, 2021). The CIS PUMF is an anonymized microdata file that contains only a subset of variables that are available on the CIS master file. Various techniques have been employed to protect CIS respondents against the risk of disclosure.

The statistic shows the median income in Canada in 2020, distinguished by province. In 2020, the median income for Canadian tax filers in Ontario amounted to 40,630 Canadian dollars.
